8-3/4" will be okay. on't trim your points. It will all be fine after you put on the big triangels and trim to 8-1/2"

2) after sewing these together, my blocks are coming out closer to 8 3/4 . I'm going to trim them to 8 5/8. Hope I don't lose too many points. Are these seams all pressed to the outside?
